2015 Map of Pierce City

About this map

Pierce City and Wentworth anchor this 2015 survey of the borderlands where Lawrence, Newton, and Barry Counties meet. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Ozark plateau, where numerous springs and branches feed the westward flow of Shoal Creek. Small rural crossroads like Berwick, Center Point, and Jolly mark the transition from the upland prairies near Monett Municipal Airport to the creek valleys below. The intricate network of farm roads reveals a resilient agricultural pattern, punctuated by local landmarks like the Wright Cemetery and the waters of Cave Spring. In the southern reaches of the map, the terrain becomes more dissected as Capps Cr and Hudson Cr carve through the countryside, illustrating the hydrologic character of this tri-county region.
